Poster frame enhancements + stability fixes
The poster frame has received an upgrade in the form of new options like filtering, sorting, opening poster directly on your device and a new option to mark individual posters as favorite. Visuals and poster dropdown options have been adjusted to be more user friendly and readable. On top of that the system 'under the hood' has been reworked for improved stability and reliability, especially after multiple play sessions. Each play session will now create its own unique folder to save posters to to prevent issues.
* Please note that this new way of saving and loading posters will expect to break your previous save files. It is recommended to start a fresh new game to utilize the new system in a reliable way. I'm very aware that this can cause frustration under players, but this was a necessary sacrifice to push this update as early as possible to prevent more issues in later gameplay.
Full changelog v1.1
New features
o Added: ‘favorite’ option for posters. You are now able to mark posters as your favorite to find them easier when wanting to set a poster to a frame.
o Added: poster frames now have filter and sorting options for these poster selections:
Filter: All posters, Favorites, Year
Sorting: Default, Titles A-Z, Year ↑, Year ↓, Genre A-Z
o Added: To further help you find a specific poster you are also able to use a search inputfield that filters poster dropdown based on project titles, genre and year. This works on top of selected categories and sorting options for maximum control. This is especially very convenient when dealing with lots of posters during a single play session / save file.
o Added: an option to open the poster file location folder on you device directly from inside the game.
o Added: stat overview indicating total posters and total favorite posters.
o Added: Poster frames will now correctly save the poster image they are set to by players upon loading a saved file.
o Added: more fallback font types to support multiple characters and icons.
Changes / Bug Fixes
o Changed / Fixed: reworked the way placeable poster frames are saved and loaded completely. Seperated poster frames from the regular placeable object to handle logic differently.
o Changed / Fixed: Created unique poster save folders for each play session. This is attached to every save file and will now work stable and reliable for restoring and displaying the correct posters belonging to each individual play session. This fixes incorrect poster references in case of matching titles and genres during different play sessions.
